Project 1: Sound Journey

For this project I was thinking about capturing the journey a wildlife photographer would undergo when pursuing a subject. I personally study photography and I always find the journey one travels in the process of getting that perfect shot to be interesting and unique every time. In photography I believe that it is really the journey and the personal interaction the photographer experiences while shooting that gives photographs a life or essence which is so captivating for the intended audience. So with that in mind I thought about three possible locations I would want my wildlife photographer to potentially travel to. The three locations I'm deciding between are Alaska, Africa, and the Rainforest. If the location is Alaska I want to gather sounds such as snow crunching, wind, running water, trees rustling and the sound of the camera's shutter opening and closing. If the location is Africa I want to collect sounds such as hooves hitting the ground, jeep noises, tribal drums/other instruments, and again the sound of the camera's shutter opening and closing. Finally if the location is in the Rainforest I want sounds of rain falling down on leaves, rustling of trees and other plant life, birds singing, feet walking through underbrush, and the opening and closing of the camera's shutter.
